So despite having hols now, I'm still struggling.. Stress.. It feels like I'm in the deep sea, and trying to swim to ashore, but kept remaining at the same place. And keep wanting to swim up to take a breath before moving on, but I can't. Keep on swallowing and choking on water. It's so near to the surface of the water but can't seem to go up further. Being tight, being stretched, felt hard to breathe. Ministry, relationship, emotions.. (fortunately the work part had finish.. or else seriously, I might not be able to take it.) The anger, the work not done, the need to rush to finish work due to the large amt of workload with the little amt of time given. While I was doing work, wad was in my mind was, "Don't bother me!! Let me finish my work first!! I'll blow up soon if you don't allow me to!!!" I really feel like giving up on everything.

I know it's hard for both of us now. With me having emotional probs, work, r/s, stress.. with you, trying ur best for us, ur work, and everything. Really very appreciate you being so patience with me when everytime I blow up. You being the poor thing one. Put up with me and all. And somehow we worked out our differences. Really thank God for you. I agree with what you said. Maybe I've tithed, and you're this very special gift that God gave, for being faithful to Him.

This hol, though with lots of places to go (sounds fun, and I wanna go too), but somehow felt too tired to actually wanna go out of my house. The question now to ask is, how long can I take it? Just how long??

Touched

2010-02-25T00:59:00.000+08:00

I didn't realize that I was so impt to you. I had always tot I cared more. Sorrie babe. I'm selfish. But anyway, I wanna be a good support for you. Honestly, I'm scared of what's gonna come, but let us go thr the obstacles w God tgt okie?

After Freda talked, I've realized things that I did not see. Blinded, I think. Stressed too.. that I couldn't balance my ministry, work, and r/s. Terrible time, really. But still trying to cope with stress. Learning to lead, to communicate, patience.. is what I intend to learn during this 1 and half mths before my work starts.

Very tired. I'm dozing off in front of lappy alr. See ya!! (:

CNY Celebration

2010-02-17T10:46:00.000+08:00

This CNY was fun... but tiring.

On the 13th Feb
I had my AM shift. After that was rushed to po po's house by daddy. Zzz. I havent even had a time to relax. So tired. Reach po po's house, we had our steamboat reunion dinner, chit-chatting, and watched tv shows. Met Jordan before meeting my other church fwens for a midnight movie. Hahaha!! Kidda slept a bit in the theatre.. I woke up at 5.30am for work leh. Then my movie started at 1am, ended at 3 plus. And I haven't relax my eyes a bit. So very tired. Hahaha!! Head back to po po's house. Bathe and all, slept at 4am.

On the 14th Feb
Next day, woke up at 9am due to the horror of blockage and swelling of my nose and eye lid. Something had attacked my nose during the night while I was asleep. A bit disfigured. Used both hot and cold compress to lightened the swelling. It wasn't as bad this yr though, last yr was worst. Thus at 1 plus, with all the hot and cold compress, though still have a bit swelling, I just dun care, went to my ma ma's house.

Talked to all my unfamiliar relatives. The "meet once a yr" relatives. Had our lou hei (YuSheng) We had 2 YuSheng(s) actually. As there're 10 plus plus ppl there. Though some din come.
Went back to po po's house for dinner then met Jordan to go Titus' house bai nian. Went back home a while later.

On the 15th Feb
My daddy had been nagging me to go to this particular house with him and mummy as his fwen hired the lion dance troupe to go to his house for a show. Anyway, saw lots of policemen, some big shot, so ikan billis, as this fwen of my daddy is a policeman. But I had to admit. I was amused by the dance. Last time I was thinking "lion dance, big deal." Hahaha!! But quite nice lah actually. LOL!!! After the visitation, met Jordan again. Hahahah!!

Went to Pastor's house. Wahhhhh!! Finally Pastor got married and this is the first CNY he spent w his wife as married couple. Of course but go there take ang bao. Hahahah!!! LOL!!! I like his study room. Big and nice. Simple, and I like the style. With the sofa infront of the big big working table.

After that supposed to go to Jordan's po po's house.(heard from Jordan's mummy that his po po wanna see me *shy shy*) Hahhaha!! But in the end, nvr. So went to Jordan's house bai nian instead. Ate dinner there and all.

On the 16th Feb

Planned to meet up with Yu and Yap de. To go their house bai nian. But Yu last min cannot. Going out with her mummy. -.- (Tot can hang out with her after so long). Then Yap and I went to watch movie instead. Some lame chinese show. "All's Well Ends Well Too 2010". Kidda heartache, paid 10 bucks for a not worth it show. Just for laughs only. After movie then shop with Yap a while.
Jordan came and brought him to my po po's house for dinner. Hahahah!!! Someone so paiseh. Eat dinner so gentle also. Hahahhaha!!! LOL!!! After that Jennie suggested for a movie. So okie, watched "Percy Jackson & the Lightning Thief". Agreed with wad Yap say, plot is childish but the effects are nice.

Second Round of Night Shift

2010-02-04T14:29:00.001+08:00

Hi!! I'm back!! Hahaha!!! Today and tomorrow I'm having rest day and day off. That's why I'm so eng to blog today. I'm gonna share with you what happened to me recently.

My 2nd round of night shift just ended on Tues. And had my sleeping day on Wed.

First day of night, Sun, there's a patient she's emotionally depressed as she lost her youngest son recently. And the other child is planning to swallow her inheritance alone. Thus not very mentally stable. So on this particular night, she sudd woke up and shouted "FIRE!! FIRE!!!" and wanting to jump out of the bed. But fortunately, her maid was there to hold onto her. Thus heng.. no fall. She was brought to the cubicle just in front of the nurses' station.

Second night. This old lady wants to pee. Asked for a commode. So I gave her. After peeing, I helped her to wear her pants as she has left-sided weakness (but not totally dependant) and needed assistance. So I helped. But her right leg was stepping onto the pants. Thus I helped her pull up. Then her left side cannot tahan and wanted to fall. But I was there to hold her. Not letting her touch the floor. Just the height of the bed. But she said she wanna sit down. So I slowly put her down onto the floor. Then she say: "You no strength. Go ask someone to help"(By the way, she's a difficult patient and very sarcastic - we all don't like her).

Okie, So I go get help from my junior. She came and asked the patient: "What happened?" Patient:"I fell"(WTH!). Then helped her up onto the bed and took her parameters and all - nth of abnormalities. We told my SN. She came and asked the patient if she fell or that I helped her sat on the floor. Then the patient say is sat on the floor. WTH rite?? The 2 things that straight away fail PRCP is medication error and patient fell... know why I'm so angry with her alr?? She LIED. And if my Sister or Preceptor believed it, I can fail this attachment. And I have to suffer another 3 mths of PRCP again. NO MAN!!! RARRH!!!!

Third night. 2 patients had fever. 1 from my room and another from my SN's. So asked the stupid HO (housemen - lowest "rank" of doc) to take blood C/S (culture and sensitivity). Then the HO.. zzz. Broke sterilty, stupidly pour the whole cleaning solution directly on the patient's arm w/o using cotton balls. -.- Bla bla. I don't understand how he pass his skills.

After that my SN's patient sudd went gaga. Got restless. So we restraint her. And put her bed at the nurses station there so that we can monitor her. Then she shouted as if we kidnapped her: "Why are you harming me?", "I'm 79yrs old, I got no money", "I wanna go home, my son is waiting for me"(in the middle of the night?? ya right. We can't even get thr her son and daughter's no) "Why did you tie my up? I'll call the cops", "HELPPPPPPPP!!!!"(She really shout until the B2 side can hear, really kua zhang. The B2 side nurse told us de). I really feel like taping her mouth. Hahaha!! So informed MO (medical officer - 2nd "rank" for doc), since the HO really cmi. Mo came and ordered Haloperidol (use for emotionally unstable pts - commonly seen in IMH). But no use. She still shout and shout. So increase dose. Better, but still got shout - on and off. So in the morning, we put her back into the cubicle.

What a night.

In the first night, I touch an MRSA nasal patient w/o knowing she's MRSA. zzz. Helped her changed diapers. Got quite scared cuz if I have MRSA might need isolation, depending on which MRSA I have and some might even spread to other organs and die.Then after that my hands very itchy. So scratch and scratch. And it's red red with small dots dots dots. Hahaha!! Then at night very itchy. I was scared. Asked another SN. She told me I'm allergic to alcohol handrub. The other SN also like that. So I talked to the other SN. She told her her experience and all. And okie, it's like spreading. I'm gonna go see doc now. So ttyl. Byeeee!!!

Life Recently ...

2010-01-16T12:30:00.000+08:00

Had been very busy late.. attachments are killing me. First time took 6 cases was when... Wednesday. A day before my off days. Was chaotic. But SN Fatin taught and helped me a lot. And ohhhhhhh!! I dunno she knew ZeMin. Same batch. No wonder.. Students who just graduated 1 or 2 yrs are nice who are willing to teach, but those old old wans are there to torture you. Believe it or not, it's happening in every ward. So, my preceptor will be back on the 21st Jan due to her sick leave as she's pregnant. So poor thing. Keep nauseated and vomiting wan. Scary. Hahah!! Then I dun wanna get pregnant, I'll go adopt one instead. LOL!!! Today will be the first night shift of my life. Slept for 10hrs. Scared cannot tahan till tml 7am. LOL!!! Hopefully it'll be too busy until I dun feel sleepy. And today first night, CI Syida told us to be Junior first. Tml and Mon den I try being TL. ohhhhh~ So scary. TL have to take 9 cases in the night.

You know recently I've realized life is SO fragile. My patient died 1 or 2hrs ago - which in general condition, I saw she was moving in her bed and all. So fast. We tried to resusitate her but her ECG result was flat. Docs were there too. And then to pronounce her dead. It all happened so fast. You know how scary it was. Haiz.

And I hate to work during weekends. I wanna go out. ): NO LIFE NO LIFE!!! NURSES HAVE NO LIFE!!!! Dunno how long will I be able to tahan. It's not only for these 3 mths. But for the rest of dunno how many yrs. Unless I keep promoting to Matron. Hahahah!!! Aiya, but still, have to tahan the shifts. My body is failing me again. Until... menses comes. Wahahaha!! Hopefully it'll come every day. LOL!!!

Today's Saturday and I missed the times when I just go church to do ministry stuffs. It's been dunno how long alr. Last week I had am shift I think. This week mn shift. Next week also am shift. I had dozed off last Sat. Seriously, so tiring. 5.30am woke up and tahan until 11 plus, 12am.

Now is 12.29pm and I'm hungry. Blehx!! Waiting for my daddy. He said he wanna buy food home. Chao!

Christmas Big Day

2009-12-20T11:06:00.001+08:00

We all had been busy with Christmas Big Day recently.. all our free time had rehearsal. tiring. but enjoyable, working with the church peepole. though we stayed up in church late, we all had the same goal.. to do our best to carry the message across to the unsaved, God's name be made LOUD and glorified.. hahaha!! im so looking forward to the christmas season.

My preceptor.. nice lah she. i'm so glad she's happy with me. and i'm trying my best to rmb what she taught. i'm gonna do my best for this posting!!! seriously i thank God for the things He provided even when so many preparations have been going on for Christmas Big Day: strength to carry on with the shifts, enthusiastism, a willing heart to learn, etc etc. if not for God, i would have died long ago. seriously, juggling with shifts + Christmas Big Day preparation ain't easy.

And seriously, i really thank God for jordan. when i emo, he comes and coax me, sayang me.. sometimes i really feels unfair to him cuz it's others who irritate me and becuz of my anger, i become cold towards him. i'm so loving his patience.. but im not taking it for granted. i have to learn how to control my emotions though. hahah!! and seriously, he's a great guy though. i've come to realized a mature guy is a lot more understanding. that's what is important in a relationship. and maturity doesnt necessary comes with age. i've seen a 30+ yrs old guy whose thinking is more childish than jordan's. well, anyway. my sweetie is great!!

I have to go alr. i'll post more interesting pictures next week. jordan's been invited to my family's christmas party. hahaha!!! see how he garang gabra. hehex *evil look* :X
